What A-levels do you need to study a building or construction degree?
If you’re thinking of studying a building or construction-related degree at university, make sure your A-level line-up ticks admissions tutors’ boxes…
Whether you want to study building services engineering, building surveying or construction management, many building degree courses require you to have A-levels (or equivalent) in maths or physics (or both).
Take a look at individual courses in building services, surveying and construction management on The Uni Guide to find out the most popular subjects students studied before attending.
It's also worth noting that many degrees will be open to you whichever A-levels you choose. Some courses will be happy with a subject just at AS-level while others will be looking for the full A-level, so this is something to check before you finalise your A-level choices in Year 12.
